Delivering unrivaled experiences We strive to offer unmatched experiences for those we serve. This includes using technology to deepen our connections with students and grow our partnerships. We use technology to deepen our connections with students and grow our partnerships. Some of the ways WE ENHANCED THE GEORGIAN EXPERIENCE through digital innovation: • More than 30 students from cross-disciplinary programs collaborated to retrofit a 1972 VW Westfalia into an electric vehicle using off-the-shelf technology. The project showcased the potential of converting older vehicles into cleaner and more efficient ones that can help reduce carbon emissions in the transportation sector. • Georgian was one of the first Ontario colleges to launch a near real-time admissions system and new applicant portal, making it easier than ever for students to apply. • We signed memorandums of alliance across Canada allowing elementary, secondary and postsecondary students access to the college's award-winning Indigenous virtual reality worlds as part of our efforts to ensure language and cultural preservation. • Students collaborated with Bayshore Specialty RX, a recognized provider of home and community health-care services, to develop innovative solutions powered by artificial intelligence. Their projects helped to support the optimization of schedules, lower wait times and improve patient outcomes. Bayshore was so impressed they hired one of our graduating students! • We reinforced our commitment to access by providing 110 people who didn't meet admission requirements with personalized support and pathways to get into Georgian through our unique college entry advisor initiative. They're all now one step closer to achieving their dreams! 10 DELIVERING UNRIVALED EXPERIENCES | GeorgianCollege.ca
